Which is better: elite program at a so-so school or elite school with a so-so program?

@Alexandre maybe we are struggling with semantics. I think there’ room between “so so” and “elite”.

I reserve elite for schools like Chicago. I would not describe Texas as “elite”. Not that this matters at all.

I also think you misunderstood or misinterpreted my comment about prestige and selectivity.

Obviously Texas and UiUc are terrific schools.
